Don't fool yourself, this place needs to be checked out before buying a car. I saw both of those cars over a month ago and they were missing little pieces on them but were overall decent cars.

I honestly can say they took OK care of me in the end.

My car was mint for the most part, missing a couple little interior pieces that someone probably took at the auction, They took a door handle piece in carbon and shift ****. The seller ordered me a new handle from porsche and took a carbon shift **** off of one of these porsches so I could take the car immediately, lol.

But overall the drivetrain was solid, and had no body work on the car. I was very careful test driving it first and inspecting it. Not sure if I got lucky or I just bugged the **** out of them to take care of me.

After I paid for the car I found out that all of there cars got repoed the next day as there credit line got pulled. The bank had my title after I paid in full with no loan for mine! They lied to me about having the title in hand but finally negotiated there credit line back and transfered the title and tag after almost 30 days.


Buyer beware- They know there 996's very well. Ray is a hustler and a liar in my eyes. Zuben is a nice guy but answer machine is always full, I would only buy a car if you lived locally to go by there place in person. I have mixed feelings as they screwed up in the beginning but in the end fixed everything. I'll continue to answer questions if anyone plans to buy a car from them.

mattheissengine is infamous around these parts
They may have issues but do they offer decent cars? They seem to always have a 996, so I always check their inventory online. What do the two you saw in person really look like? Were they ragged and have worn seats and carpet, or did they look well-detailed, or just a bunch of tire-shine?

There is a big discrepancy between cars with 20K, 30K, 40K and 50K+ Miles.

The cars are getting old enough that some have had 4-6 owners. Not saying that you can't find a diamond in a coal mine, but you're better off looking for a private seller with realistic expactations and a 1-2 owner car with records.
